January 01, 2012|WSBT-TV Report

Mishawaka and St. Joseph County police dealt with a bizarre break-in Sunday night.

A police dispatcher said the man escaped from an area hospital and was picked up as a hitchhiker on Beech near Kern Road. He got a ride and later ended up in the Windingbrook neighborhood area in his underwear, knocking on windows and doors.

Soon after, police responded to a call of a break-in at Covenant Christian School at Fir and Day roads. The man, who police say was hypothermic, was found inside. He was taken to the hospital.
